What is distressed finish?

Distressed finish is deliberate destruction of an object’s finish to make it look old, to give it a “weathered look”.

There are various ways of doing it but most employ some technique of washing and/or sanding the surface to immitate an aged item.

Many of our products have original “distresed finish” because they are genuinely old and have “weathered” with the passage of time.

Distressed finish items have grown in popularity so many new items are also sanded to look old. More details can be found on the wikipedia page on distressing.
